Dear Parents and Carers,
Harvest
Polar Bear Class (Year 3/4) will be hosting our Harvest Festival on Friday 11th October, at 9am. This year we are again supporting the local foodbanks as we know they support so many of our community. If the children could bring in donations of dried goods, like pasta or rice, or tinned goods, like beans or soup, they would be gratefully received.
Parents’ Evening
We will be sending out a letter next week for our first parents’ evening of the year. This will take place afterschool week beginning 14th October.
